Sharpening the Skills

Kage­maru study­ing one of the stretch­ing tech­niques of Tech­nic­ca, his flex­i­bil­i­ty now is on­ly com­pa­ra­ble with the sharp­ness of his weapon ^-^

In Tech­nic­ca's moth­er tongue, this tech­nique is called ori no jut­su, which means "art of fold­ing" and is some­times se­mi-jok­ing­ly called kara­da no origa­mi, "the origa­mi of the body". Jokes aside, this tech­nique is very dif­fi­cult to mas­ter and takes years of prac­tice un­til it's pol­ished to per­fec­tion, es­pe­cial­ly by non-Tech­nic­cans.

At the peak of per­fec­tion the stu­dent can fold his body like pa­per and eas­i­ly hold a katana in the fold of his spine with oth­er peo­ple hav­ing a hard time pulling it out!
